IBM Quintuples Performance with the Power 795
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The big, bad box of the Power7 lineup rolls out onto the floor today, and it just might sag a little bit.

Experia Touts SilverDev Tool for IBM i
by Alex Woodie
System i pros who are looking to leverage their RPG skills to modernize their 5250 apps, but are frustrated with the slowness of Web-based applications may want to consider SilverDev, a integrated development environment (IDE) and application framework from the French company Experia. The vendor says SilverDev delivers all the benefits of a pure Windows client and an event-driven paradigm, and none of the slowness and frustration that often accompanies Web-based modernization efforts on the IBM i platform.
